关于此套币:
This set started as a regular highball set in the registry. In the interest of getting 100% completion for less money, I decided to fill in the remaining 20 holes with lowball coins and enter the set in the lowball category. After purchasing what I could find from Mike Payne and other sellers on eBay I had 7 left to fill in. Somehow the challenge of finding a certain date/mintmark in a low grade turned out to be a lot more fun than just shopping for the best price on readily available higher grade coins. I came across Clash Marks on eBay, who built the (at the time) 4th ranked all time finest set 'Rimless' and contacted him. He was able to provide 6 of the 7 coins I needed as lowball hole fillers. The 1894 was the last hole in this set and was finally filled in with a G4 and this set was ranked 6th current with a GPA of 37.625. At that point I decided to just run with it and see where it goes. Then it was time to downgrade the MS and AU graded coins. With much of Clash Marks recently retired 'Rimless' set still in his possession, he was able to provide many of the coins I wanted to downgrade and was willing to deal. Most of the coins I acquired from Clash Marks have 'Clash Marks' in the comments. After the deals with Clash Marks, and several other purchases, this set was ranked 2nd current. This set was still ranked 2nd at the time of AU Hobby retiring his magnificent set on 12/04/2018 leaving this set in 1st current finest/7th all time finest. During my dealings with Clash Marks, I was put into contact with Sourdough. Sourdough has become an indispensable resource of knowledge and has been a great help in locating some of these hard to find coins. Several of the coins in this set did spend time in Sourdough's legendary "End of the Trail"XI Hall of Fame #1 all time finest set. The ones I know of that were once part of that undefeatable set are marked with HOF in owners comments.

ALAN MENTIONED YOUR SET A WHILE AGO. IT SURE LOOKS LIKE YOU DID INDEED ENJOY THE JOURNEY AND HE SAID YOU ARE ON ANOTHER ONE. THE BEST TO ALL YOUR FUTURE JOURNEYS
Congratulations for getting to the #1 set. Very well deserved. Your hard work and perseverance really paid off.
You have done a remarkable job in building up this set as well as others. The time and efforts you have put forth indicate a true passion for the low ball registry. You have found some of the toughest PO01 examples that have crossed your path with the freshly graded 1883-S PO01 being one of them. I wish the best in all your searching endeavors in your quest to reach all your goals.
Congratulations on what appears to be this years Registry set winner for the lowball Morgan dollar set. Dedication and perseverance has paid off. Wonderful accomplishment. I am glad to have been a small part of this set accumulation. Mike Payne
AMAZINGLY FAST PROGRESS TO SEE YOUR SET MOVE INTO FIRST PLACE SO FAST. IN ORDER TO ACCOMPLISH WHAT YOU HAVE DONE, I KNOW YOU HAVE INDEED BEEN A MORGAN HUNTER. EVERY MORGAN DOLLAR COLLECTOR HUNTS MORGANS BUT THE LOWBALL HUNT, WHEN POPULATIONS ARE CONSIDERED, IS VERY DIFFICULT. CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR VERY SUCCESSFUL MORGAN HUNTING!!!
This is turning into one awesome collection of PO01 Morgan dollars. I am impressed that a 1883-S PO01 surfaced here recently and that example is a real "Keeper" for that date and mint. I also like the 1879-CC PO01 with a grease fill "E" - very unusual to see a letter only half filled. Although many of these coins spent time in other collections before you have done a remarkable job of finding examples I never did. Thank you for sharing this set and your history background on building a noteworthy Morgan Dollar Basic Low Ball registry set. I applaud your efforts on gathering three of the most elusive Philadelphia Morgan dollars within this set (1897-P PO01, 1898-P PO01 & 1899-P PO01). These coins represent a very unique challenge to any set because as the population shows they're down right scarce to find. I wish you all the best on your quest in a most challenging endeavor.
Quite an accomplishment, my friend.
This is WOW. Great set.
Truly An amazing set ! Already in the top 5 of all time. Keep it up !
WOW, 6 NEW POORS AND A FAIR 93-S, I AM IMPRESSED. YOU WILL BE #1 SOMEDAY, ENJOY THE JOURNEY.
